Manufacturer's Description
Canon has a well-known and highly-regarded reputation for optical excellence, advanced image processing, superb performance and technological innovation, built on Canon's legendary photographic and broadcast television lenses. Based on that experience, Canons brings some advanced in high definition camcorders. The Canon VIXIA HF20 dual flash memory camcorder is one such example. The VIXIA HF20 delivers brilliant video and photos through a Canon exclusive 3.89 megapixel CMOS image sensor and the advanced version of Canon's advanced image processor, DIGIC DV III. It is ultra lightweight - Canon's smallest and lightest HD camcorder, and brings the ease and convenience of flash memory. This technology, the same used in advanced laptop computers, MP3 players, PDAs and cell phones, allows the VIXIA HF20 to record to both its large internal memory for over 12 hours of crisp, high definition video as well as to a removable SDHC card. You have extended available recording space and more flexibility in file transfer and playback. What's more, the VIXIA HF20 allows you to record at up to 24Mbps, the highest bit rate in AVCHD format, for the highest quality image. The VIXIA HF20's Canon exclusive features - such as the genuine Canon 15x HD video lens, genuine Canon face detection, super range optical image stabilization and a host of control and creative options - makes Canon's flash memory camcorder unmistakably Canon.
